Scarcity of water – threatens human and animal life

Ubumbano Voice

At Timbutini, Ngculwini in the Manzini region there is shortage of water supply. There are boreholes which are very far from some homesteads which makes it very difficult for the community members and livestock to have easy access to water. This is a daily crisis to Nolwazi and the community at large because due to climate change there is huge water shortage, since for the past years there had been good rainfalls. During winter where there are less rains, the people of Timbutini are forced to walk long distances in trying to find clean water. And sometimes they have to hire water tankers especially in this cold weather. We therefore urge the Developmental Partner Systems with the help of the Eswatini Government to use water pipes to transfer clean water to individual homesteads.
